15 Sensory Play Ideas For Babies - I Heart Arts n Crafts. 50 Easy Process Art Activities for Kids. I have been meaning to write this post for some time and once I got started gathering ideas I couldn't stop.

I am a huge fan of process art and wanted one spot where all of my favorite ideas were compiled. This post has 52 of the most beautiful, simple, and engaging process art ideas that I know of. This summer we plan on doing every one of these! For those of you who aren't familiar with the term process art, I like to think of it as open-ended art - where children aren't trying to make something exactly like an example product and there aren't any real directions.

Childhood. How Getting Rid of My Stuff Saved My Motherhood – The Balanced Life. Father Of 3 Has Failed Vasectomy, Surprises Wife With Adorable Pregnancy Announcement. - InspireMore. It’s not often that a man finds out before his wife that she is pregnant, but this time the tables have turned.

Tim and Rachel Brummel already have three young boys and decided that a vasectomy was the best option for their family moving forward. Tim noticed his wife started to act “a little bit pregnant” a few months ago.

Over cleaning, of all things. Not the most important thing, but here we were fighting about it nevertheless. I felt like I was always nagging the kids to clean up, with very little success.
